Alex Orma presents a brilliant spin on the zombie apocalypse for Belgian band La Jungle.

David Cronenberg meets Thriller - and inevitably plays upon the reality of the pandemic - when the population of Brussels begin displaying symptoms of 'dancing plague'. It starts with a bad cough and then it's all about the involuntary jerks and spasms, as the rhythms of La Jungle's Du Sang Du Singe take hold.

The real reference is the Black Death in the 16th century, where the 'dancing plague' actually happened: a mystery virus caused people to dance non-stop until they eventually died from a stroke or exhaustion.

The clip is a collaboration with choreographer Brandon Lagaert (performer in the Peeping Tom company) as well as with some of the most talented young dancers of the current Belgian scene.

Orma, Lagaert, cast and crew do a superb job here, giving his horror-comedy the scale of a low budget feature, with the a sizeable dollop of Low Country black humour. 

Looks like it would be fun being a Rock Zombie...
